WASHINGTON — Colt Anderson, academic dean of Washington Theological Union, will give a lecture on Nov. 17 titled “Holy Church and Holy Writ: Bonaventure’s Contribution to the Debate Over the Meaning of Tradition.” All are welcome to the free Franciscan lecture.
Anderson will discuss the relationship between scripture and tradition, the authority of canon law and the tradition’s capacity for development. The lecture will explain St. Bonaventure’s role in clarifying the nature of authority in the Catholic Church, and explore contemporary questions. Refreshments will be served.
